About
I'm a junior .NET developer based in Sheffield, currently building production systems at DMS Navigator while independently shipping two products from scratch — Xisaab, a multi-tenant SaaS invoicing platform for SMBs in Somaliland, and AskMyPDF, an AI-powered document chat app. I care about architecture that holds up, APIs that make sense, and code that doesn't cut corners.
Outside of engineering, I've modelled since 2022 — walking London Fashion Week, shooting with Kurt Geiger, and appearing on the Vogue runway. Before tech, I spent eighteen months on a sponsored outdoor leadership programme across the Lake District, Peak District, and Wales — coming away with a Climbing Wall Instructor qualification, Outdoor First Aid, Mountain Bike Instructor training, and a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Back in Sheffield, I volunteer at Unity Gym and run weekend football sessions with kids in the community. I also run a self-hosted home server stack for media, automation, and privacy — because the best way to understand systems is to build them yourself.
